"The WiFi is horrendous and doesn’t even work."
"Bins constantly full/overflowing, chem loo facilities and grey waste pretty rudimentary, only one wash block for the whole campsite leading to queuing in ladies showers, ancient old hairdryers."

"Having had the pleasure of dealing with the 'Lady' in reception I can honestly say I will never stay at this campsite again...mood swing of great proportion can only mean she suffers from Bypoler dreadful dreadful Staff."
"We literally had to fight it off. All the time the two yobs who owned it were bawling at us that we shouldn't be there and the foul women was howling that her dogs had more right than us to be running loose."
"This is the most unwelcoming camp site I have ever experienced in my life."

Cons:

Overall Experience
Pros:
"Once again a really nice stay at this wonderful site in a beautiful part of the country."
"I would definitely recommend it."
"Highly recommend."
"Would definitely stay here again. What a fabulous place, the site is very well kept."
"Perfect family run and family oriented camp site. Been coming here for years now and only hesitate recommending it because it will make it harder for me to re-book 😁 14/7/2022 Still awesome."
"A complete gem of a site...tucked behind the dunes and a field away from the stunning beach so really proper break, leaving the car behind."
"This is a fantastic, beautiful and welcoming place. Won't go anywhere else for our holidays."
Cons:
"Would personally NOT visit again. There are rats on site!"
"The only thing that disappointed our stay was the noise of the lawn mower pretty much every day."
"One star rating for the one thing they could have done which was refund the remaining 3 nights - yes they are not legally bound to do this but after our terrible experience it would have been a decent and kind gesture."
"Stayed at Gwithian last week - lovely campsite if you don't mind rats - If your scared of rats stay clear as they are nesting in the pampas grass that surrounds the campsite."
"Campers should be aware there are rodents roaming about as we did find some poo in our tent porch in the morning."
"It is NOT appropriate for families with young children."
"Lovely campsite but it bit too restrictive for us. We like campfires."
